CARFAX Car Care App: Your Complete Digital Vehicle Maintenance Hub

The CARFAX Car Care App is a comprehensive mobile tool designed to simplify vehicle ownership. It centralizes your car’s maintenance history, service schedules, and vital records into one accessible platform. This application connects directly to the CARFAX database, providing personalized alerts for recalls, maintenance, and repair estimates. For any car owner, the CARFAX Car Care App eliminates the guesswork of upkeep, helping to protect your investment and maintain your vehicle’s value through timely, informed care.

Centralized Vehicle Service History Tracking

Upon entering your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the CARFAX Car Care App automatically populates a digital timeline of reported services. You can manually add records for work performed at non-network shops or DIY maintenance. This creates a complete, chronological log of all repairs, oil changes, and part replacements. The app serves as a single source of truth for your car’s upkeep, which is invaluable for personal reference or when selling the vehicle.

Automated Maintenance Reminders and Scheduling

CARFAX Car Care App analyzes your vehicle’s make, model, and mileage to generate a personalized maintenance schedule. It sends push notifications for upcoming service intervals like oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections. Users can then directly schedule an appointment with a local shop through the app or simply mark the service as completed. This proactive feature of the CARFAX Car Care App ensures critical maintenance is never overlooked.

Receipt and Document Digital Storage

The CARFAX Car Care App functions as a digital filing cabinet for all vehicle-related paperwork. You can use your phone’s camera to scan and upload paper receipts, digital invoices, and warranty documents. These are then permanently stored within the app and categorized by service type and date. This organized system makes it easy to retrieve proof of service for warranty claims or during a vehicle appraisal.

Real-Time Safety Recall Notifications

Leveraging its extensive database, the CARFAX Car Care App provides immediate alerts if the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues a recall for your specific vehicle. The alert includes details on the affected component, the associated risks, and instructions on how to proceed. Users can then contact a local authorized dealer directly through the app to schedule the free repair, ensuring their safety is addressed promptly.

Local Repair Shop Discovery and Cost Estimates

When service is needed, the CARFAX Car Care App helps you find a qualified mechanic. The integrated shop locator displays highly-rated, local service centers that report work to CARFAX. For many common services, the app provides upfront, transparent cost estimates based on your location and vehicle specifics, helping you budget accurately and avoid overpaying for routine maintenance.

Personalized Fuel and Mileage Logging

For those who track expenses or deduct vehicle use for business, the CARFAX Car Care App includes a manual logging tool. You can record fuel fill-ups, note the odometer reading, and track your car’s fuel economy over time. This data is compiled into simple reports that can be exported, providing clear insights into your vehicle’s operating costs and performance trends.

Vehicle Value Tracking and History Reporting

The CARFAX Car Care App provides access to your car’s current market value, which updates regularly based on mileage and condition. By maintaining a complete service history within the app, you are effectively building a compelling CARFAX History Report that can demonstrate to future buyers that the vehicle has been well-maintained, potentially increasing its resale value.
